Heading to the north of the island? Mauritius Airport to Grand Baie is one of the most popular routes for visitors.
Grand Baie is about 70 km from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU),
and the journey typically takes around 1 hour 15 minutes by car. Here’s how to get there — quickly, comfortably, and at a fair price.
Option 1: Private Airport Transfer (Best Choice)
The easiest way to reach Grand Baie is to book a private airport transfer. Your driver meets you at arrivals, helps with luggage,
and takes you directly to your hotel or villa — no queues, no haggling, and no surprise costs.

Option 2: Public Bus
The bus is budget-friendly but slow. You’ll usually need to connect via Port Louis, and the total journey can take 2.5–3+ hours.
After a long flight and with luggage, this option isn’t ideal for most travelers.
Option 3: Car Rental
Renting a car gives you flexibility to explore, but keep in mind: driving is on the left, routes can be unfamiliar,
and navigating after a long flight may be tiring. If you’re staying in Grand Baie, you can always rent a car locally for day trips.
